The same generic mail ? Please check your email, i submitted sometimes around Second week of August.

luqaz:
Yes it is under review and it was submitted by Aug 27th ish. So i go an updated email to resend BS and travel itenary which I did yesterday. So sometime around Nov is the new intended travel date.

OK , When did you submit yours and is it under review? Also when is your intended travel date?

luqaz:
I received the email. I think it’s just a general email.

Did you also receive an email about update?
I am starting to think the mail was just an auto respond.

mobimuc9ja:
Mine under review too and not opening with different web browsers

Mine isn’t opening too, is your status under review or sent ? I think once it move to under review you can’t edit

CindyByFine:
Try another browser.
Mine opens though I don't have a need for it.

Got the same mail, were you able to log into your online profile to update said informations ?

Hello everyone,

Please I received this email from the embassy. I think it is a generic one, although I had sent a follow up email on my visa application which is probably why they sent this email.

I am trying to fully understand what it means especially the concluding part. Does it mean that if my intended travel date has passed as a result of the long time the visa process has taken, I will need to book a new flight date and also hotel reservation and re-upload same online?

Please, those who have gotten their visas, did you have to do this after your initial travel date passed?

I would appreciate some guidance, please. Thanks.

I got the this same email, but I have been trying to log into the online portal to update all needed documents e.g flight and hotel, but I have been unable to login, it’s not letting me, anyone going through the same problem and any help on how to proceed ?

CindyByFine:
Mine was sent back via courier... because aside the hotel and flight reservations dates being old, I didn't have access to the Manual form...so I didn't fill it.

I guess that's why it was couriered back instead of via email.

Check your email well or send them an email.

Please do you know the visa processing duration for Argentina and can someone apply from Nigeria.

Most of what you're asking here, you can do on your own by some indepth research (visa processing+success rate); decisions such as these should be made solely by you. Here's some help still.

All three countries follow jus soli (ie, giving the baby citizenship when born on their soil), but they have a few differences between them (this is from personal research please. You can do some more on your own):

For Chile, you have to be a resident there FIRST (trp or PR) for your child to enjoy the jus soli benefit. NOT TOURIST VISA, whereas for the other two countries, one can use just a tourist or visit visa. Now, this doesn't mean your baby can't be a citizen of Chile, it just means it won't be automatic (for both Brazil and Mexico, it's automatic, doesn't matter how the parent entered the country)

Chile has arguably the best healthcare in South America (top notch!). It's affordable but not totally free...I understand it's not free in Mexico either but totally free in Brazil.

As you should know, Chile and Mexico speak Spanish while Brazil speaks Portuguese; in case one has to learn, Spanish is easier (no question 🤣). So there's more of a language barrier in Brazil than the other two places.

As for citizenship for family, Brazil and Mexico give PR as soon as baby is born and you apply (you use your baby as an anchor) - then get citizenship after some time of fulfilling requirements (a year or two) and applying.
Chile is almost the same...but if you're on trp, you'll get PR then apply for citizenship but time duration is almost same.

Chile's passport is the strongest amongst the three...they have mostly the same visa-free and visa-on-arrival countries, with Mexico having that TN arrangement thing with the US but Chile's passport has e-visa to both US and Canada (100% guaranteed entry).

I'm assuming you're applying from Nigeria...you can do so for Mexico and Brazil but for Chile, you have to go to Ghana or find a registered travel agency here to do it for you (I never advise this sha).

...so, I think I've covered most of it🙂 since you're thinking South America, you should check out Argentina as well - it has the fastest citizenship route in the world. After birth, no need for PR, apply for citizenship straight...but of course, you consider other factors as well. Other South American countries aren't bad either.

If I were to choose, Chile is the best no doubt. But you have to consider many other things to make that choice. That you're considering giving your family this gift (dual citizenship) is the best🙂 but anything worth doing, is worth doing well. Make proper research, follow people's stories in all these countries, reach out to them if possible then decide. Wish you the very best!!!
